I thought I would give the original Diablo a spin for old time's sake. I was having a great time until I forgot to save my game before I opened the door for the Butcher on level 2 and promptly got hacked to pieces. Nothing like 45 minutes of your time down the drain, LOL!
I remeber the Butcher always made me jump when Diablo came out.... Dispite knowing he was there the each time after, the soundbite for him sort of stood out...:P
All the shallow breathing during the week before the Invitational gave me that same nostalgic urge to go back and play a little of the first game. I did exactly the same thing - got nailed by the Butcher - a few other times too. Makes me appreciate autosave much more. Tiptoe twice, shoot em down, save the game. Never take more than two steps at a time. Just pick em off one by one. God it was so much fun.
It also reminded me of how disappointed I was with some of the graphics in D2 - though most of them were excellent - including Diablo. If you made level 13 you got to see the vipers. Those were the single most detailed and beautiful of any PC or NPC in the entire expanse of Diablo. They were magnificent. The claw vipers in D2, Act 2 were horrid compared to the ones in D1's Helll.
King leoric was sooo hard! I tried to Ironman solo it! Thats when you don't go back to town and go down till level 16. I had 2 holy bolt staves (what a relief!) but those skeleton archers hurt alot. so, i failed misserably on level 3 suck that they can still shoot you from off screen.

When evil was born, I was there...
When evil struck back, I was there...
When evil returns, I will be there...
